Why does SR always want to give away its trains to other zones? Dont they even have the capacity to run a dedicated train with their own rake to CAPE from MS? Its the passengers who will be affected if Island Exp is delayed.
-
What will SR try to achieve by delinking the rakes of PC and MS-CAPE? Pathetic to see the way the zone is functioning. They didnt even care to build a pitline at CAPE and decongest NCJ.

Let TVC get rid of all PM, or all its trains. No issues. But what made you to suggest that all Kerala trains should have PM at MAQ? What is the benefit for Karnataka city of Mangalore?
Let TVC find a new location in Kerala for providing maintenance of Kerala's enhanced connectivity.
MAQ is not a dump yard of Kerala trains. If you do not know the problems of MAQ, please refrain from commenting about MAQ. Limit your discussion to TVC/ Sabari etc only.

Re# 6058745-40              
Thanks for your understanding. MAQ is filled with Kerala trains only. When you suggested PM of few more trains, I felt odd.
As SR PGT is running zero trains for Karnataka area, I emphasised that no more Kerala trains from MAQ.
I understand problems of Malabar area.
Hope for best for Mangalore and Malabar areas.

SR has the habit of riding on shoulders of SWR. Still after 20 years also, they think it is SBC MYS division job to run from Bangalore to Cape, Mayiladuthurai, Karaikal, Kannur, etc. They are not running any train to inside Karnataka.
Plus delay is attributed to SWR. What is this 😳
Let SWR run it's train to CAPE and take it back via MDU SA HSRA daily. This will give another faster train from south TN to Bangalore

Now, SWR should ask for trains to SWR area on reciprocal basis. Demand trains from Trichy/ Velankanni/ Mayiladuthurai/ Puducherry/ Rameshwaran/ Madurai/ Nagercoil to Ballari/ Hubli/ Vijayapura/ Bagalkot/ Hassan/ Shivamogga.
Let some SR trains pass through SWR area to CR/ SCR/ WR area. Like Mangalore to Hyderabad/ Vijayawada/ Solapur/ Pune. Or say from Coimbatore to Ahmedabad/ Jaipur via Bangalore, Hubli.

Re# 6086842-13              
Better to split GTL into 2 divisions.
GTL for Andhra areas (south and east of Guntakal) and new KLBG division for GTL WADI / KLBG areas (Karnataka). If so, GTL can be in SCOR and KLBG in SCR.
Else, create Tirupati division for AP areas upto GTL. This can be in SCOR. GTL division can take care of Karnataka areas and part of GTL KCG route.If so, GTL can be in SCR.

tell me what extra benefits Raichur can get from SCOR? It is surrounded by SCR CR SWR on every direction!! Instead, if Raichur remains in SCR, it can get few trains to HYB. Also, more trains to Hubli Bangalore etc., once Munirabad Raichur line is completed.

Karnataka is not asking for any new zone. Karnataka people are asking not to add any more zonal issues to the already existing 5 zone mess. 🙄. Karnataka gets "served" by SR SWR SCR CR & KR. If SCOR also starts "serving" Karnataka, it is tooooo much.

If GTL is in SCOR, it can create more issues for many trains. Say for example, SBC HYB or MAS HYB trains, now has to travel in 2 zones, it will become 3. More zones means more hurdles.

getting a train from Bidar to Mangalore, which is intra state train, one has to knock zonal HQs of SCR, CR, SWR, KR and SR. Means authorities at Chennai, Hubli, Secunderabad, Mumbai and Navi Mumbai are involved. If SCOR also gets into this complex mess, we have to go to Vizag also.

Even UP has lesser number of zones than Karnataka.

Less TAT makes the trains more punctual. What is the use of occupying platforms for 1-1/2 hours. Max 30 to 45 minutes should be sufficient.
When a long distance train (1800 kms run) NCJ CSMT with 20 coaches has a TAT of 1 hour 20 minutes at CSMT, why more than 45 minutes for an intercity train of 14 coaches? This DD/ UDAY has run just 360 kms from it's starting point.

Reservation suspended for the train after Oct 2nd. All RSA trains reservation are also suspended. Likely to see some changes in TT but since RSA reservation is also suspended, its likely to still have RSA after LHBfication. Will the departure change to morning 06 AM from Charlapalli ? Have to wait and watch.....

One thing is for sure. SR is lazy and waste zone. Especially MAS and TVC , they don't want to maintain no train but keep their zones lol and I say this as SR railfan lol

Safari was running as HYD ERS. Subsequently, got extended to TVC initially thrice a week and finally all 7 days.
This train is meant for linking Hyderabad with Kerala. Till recently, it was going via Shorannur (for the benefit of north Kerala public). If it goes via SA KJM DMM, then this train has to deal with lazy SWR, who will hold the train at odd stations and create issues. So, train is running in SR SCR.

Here also, SR gave the responsibility of running Island to SWR.
